Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Baton Rouge are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Baton Rouge in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Equipment for Various Sports near LSU.

After practice yesterday, around 7:15 PM, I realized my sports equipment bag wasn’t in my locker. I must have left it outside the Student Union on West Campus Drive, near the gym, around that time. The bag is black with a red stripe and carries shin guards, a tennis racket, elbow pads, and a whistle. Losing these items puts me in a tough spot for weekend games, and they’re important to me beyond their price.

LOST postcards in Baton Rouge, LA

I lost a folder of postcards on Friday at 4:15 p.m., after a stroll along River Road in downtown Baton Rouge. I stopped on a bench near the Old State Capitol to rest and show a friend the cards. We got up and walked away, and I realized the folder had vanished from the bench. The stack includes travel postcards from a family trip and a few handwritten notes I'm hoping to keep. I'm hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe by the Capitol steps, where the brick catches the sun in late afternoon.

Lost Adapters near Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge

I was packing for a weekend work trip and must have set my adapters down at Perkins Rowe yesterday around 6:45 p.m. I stopped for a quick coffee outside Barnes & Noble and wandered toward the parking lot, only to realize my adapters were gone. The set includes two USB-C adapters and one micro-USB, all tucked into a small gray zip pouch. I rely on these for my laptop and phone to stay charged during long days at work, and losing them makes me feel scattered and frustrated. If you saw something near the food court or outside the movie theater, please drop a note on the site.

Lost GPS devices in Baton Rouge.

Last Friday around 8:15 PM, I was loading my car in the Baton Rouge River Center parking lot after a small festival along the Mississippi. My GPS devices were tucked in the side pocket of my backpack, and I must have left them behind when I hurried to the car after the show. They're compact, black with a white logo, and I rely on them for fieldwork and hikes around the bayous. I'm hoping someone picked them up and turned them in to the River Center lost-and-found; those devices are essential to my work.

Lost Driver's License near Old State Capitol, Baton Rouge

On Friday around 7:15 pm, I realized my driver's license was missing after I parked near the Old State Capitol and started walking toward the riverfront. I had paused to snap a photo of the capitol dome with the setting sun reflecting off the windows, and I must have dropped it while zipping up my coat. I retraced my steps along the brick walkway and along the Mississippi levee, calling out for it under the lamps, but it didn't turn up. I’m anxious about identity security and would be grateful if someone handed it in.

Lost USB Drives near Capitol Park Museum Baton Rouge

Today around 2:20 p.m., I left two USB drives in a small black case on the desk in my office on Government Street, not far from the Capitol Park Museum. I had been reviewing a client project and ran downstairs to grab coffee, and I fear I forgot them when I returned. The drives contain drafts and backups I can't replace easily, and I'm hoping someone picked up the case and left it somewhere safe near the building's foyer. If you find them, please know how important they are to me.
